Dublin is where pubs were born, each with their own unique atmosphere and long and varied history. Irish pubs have since emerged across the globe, however they quintessentially belong to Dublin. There is no other such suitable place to sip on a pint of Guinness. This tour is a mixture of novelty, history, literature, music and humour!

 Ireland’s Literary Greats
 
Do not fear: we will avoid the traditional tourist traps, and instead we will venture to Dublin's true hidden gems --including the pub's which contributed most to the city's unique character. Not only will you learn how to savour a pint of beer but also follow in the footsteps of Irish literary giants. You will visit a pub which was featured in James Joyce’s Ulysses, absolutely brimming with unbelievable stories of the countless famous novelists and poets who frequented the pub, including that of Brendan Behan. You can even learn his favourite tipple and have the pleasure of enjoying it in the very same pub in which he would often drink. This is a superb mixture of novelty, history, literature, music and humour
 
Remember: You should only drink your Guinness when you can see a clear division between the white foam and the dark beer. If the beer in your glass still looks murky and brown, your Guinness isn't ready yet!
